Have a craving for authentic Indian cuisine? Two Gingers fires on all cylinders! We were warmly greeted by the staff as we walked in and were promptly brought to the table. Going over the extensive menu, we decided to go family style and order a ton of dishes…. Be careful doing this! The portions are huge and the flavors are dynamite! I don’t have a single negative remark about this place 10/10! A must try!

Words cannot express how much I love this place. I come here all the time, I could even eat here daily if I had the money and not get sick of their food. Their meats are tender and flavorful as can be, their veggie options are packed full of so much flavor you won't even realize there's no meat, you can get spice levels at all spice tolerance, the seasonings are exotic... I could seriously go on all day. Best restaurant in all of Columbia in my opinion.

Looks like a fast food joint on the outside but one I stepped in💫✨💫it was a beautiful spot with beautiful and welcoming people. I could smell it from the street and once I got it it was everything I expected. 1st time eating Indian food and they had my tastebuds jumping. Will definitely be back

My siblings and I came here looking for a good, auntie-style Indian place. This place smelt INCREDIBLE as soon as we walked in. We were seated quickly, given drinks fast and recommended specials. I got the Chicken Korma, my sister the Butter Chicken and my brother ordered the 2Gingers curry with chicken. Our food arrived within 20-25 minutes, pipping hot and aromatic. We also orders garlic naan and cheese naan, which I had never seen at an Indian place! The food was incredible, perfectly spiced and then chicken was so tender it melted in your mouth!!! As we ate, we saw chefs walk in and out of

Ordinary spot for generic Indian food Prices are higher than competitors nearby, especially after a 2 dollar increase on all meat, which is NOT reflective in the online menu. Waitstaff, while nice, seem to be lethargic and confused. If you're craving Indian food, this will satisfy you-nothing more or less. The tandoori items are quite alright.

Been a long time customer since this place opened. Tried to eat here today. The sign on the door said they opened at 11:00 am and we walked in at 11:05. A guy sweeping the floor rudely said, "You can't come in here!"I looked back at the sign to make sure I read the time right and before I could say anything he again very rudely said, "You can't come in. We're not open." "What time do you open? It says 11:00..." He interrupted me and in the same harsh tone said "11:15!"
So, we are enjoying lunch at Chili's instead.
Seems like a bad time

Amazing food! My first time as a customer and our dinner selection did not disappoint. I am working remote in Sc due to the pandemic and had the taste for a good spicy meal. I am more than pleased. Honest to goodness soul food. We enjoyed Rogan Josh/Goat, tandoori chicken, garlic butter Naan, regular naan, lamb samosas, and chicken samosas. A wonderful heat!

Even though Columbia is a culinary wasteland, every once in a while you will find a hidden gem that blows away any expectations. Case in point is 2 Gingers and their extensive options for Indian food that goes beyond your typical Tika, curry and Masala dishes. I had the Haka noodles for the 2d time and it's one of the best Indian dishes I've ever had. Not sure if I've ever seen this in any other restaurant, but it's DAMN GOOD. It's a mix of spices, and crispy chicken tandoori tossed in an el dente noodles. It's a must try and makes about 4 servings considering it&apos

Check this place out when in Columbia. They were busy when we went and for a good reason!
Very flavorful and authentic food, good size portions. I would 10/10 recommend getting the cheese naan. (Seriously...get it.)
Staff was kind, nothing outstanding. Our waiter stopped by once to check in and then bring the check, understandable as they were very busy. However I will send my compliments to the chef!
I will definitely be returning the next time I visit Columbia.

Wow, bloody wow. What a treat. Stopped for dinner at this place on our way back from Greenville. We googled Indian and wanted to try a new place.
Let me tell you. My wife and I visit lots of Indian restaurants and this might just be our new favourite. The menu is HUGE, the prices low and awesome customer service. It's right off 26 / 20 also.
The presentation, the flavours, the aromas....Wow. I feel like I have a circus in my mouth right now. Highly recommend this place. 3 Thumbs up and 5 Stars from us.

What a disappointment. We have been coming here since this place opened and at first it was good. It has been going downhill since. Last time my hubby and me ate here, I got my food before my husband. I couldn't wait much longer because it was getting cold so I ate it. After I was done with my food my husband got his food and the appetizers came out so I ate that while he ate his dinner. When we paid we let the lady know what happened and she told us that next time we come we need to tell her that we want to eat our food together. Really? Tonight was worse. Menus were dirty and I mean REALLY

We went yesterday for dinner. Our waitress was very friendly and informative. We had several questions because of the extensive menu. It was nice seeing dishes offered that we had never seen before. I jokingly mentioned that they should offer a curry flight so I could sample several but I would have ordered it if they offered it. We ordered chicken samosas, chicken xacuti, and shrimp korma. We thought all of the food was delicious . My only issue is that they charged $3 for a can of coke. I thought that was a bit high for no refill. We would definitely go back!

Had Madurai malli chicken as appetizer and chicken 65 biryani as main course.
Biryani has been flooded with 65 pieces in fact it looks like they just transferred chicken 65 appetizer into biryani bowl to mix it with rice as I found green pepper in biryani.
Appetizer was decent but was more wet than expected or shown in the menu

This is my FAVORITE Indian restaurant (dare I say restaurant in general?) in Columbia, but the past few times I've gotten take out here, I've had to wait 30+ minutes past when they said my order would be ready. I understand that there are limitations with covid and places are more short staffed than usual, but I do hope that the owners take this into consideration and try to provide more accurate estimates for take out orders so people can wait at home instead of in their cars. I love this place and want to see them succeed - I hope this hiccup doesn't interfere with that since there

I'm going to give this spot 3 stars since I haven't tasted the food, so my review will be based on the service. The pictures of the food look great and the menu is huge so my partner and I decided to pick up food on our way to Greenville. I called a few times to place the order but no one answered, and eventually it went straight to voicemail. When I called the extension for general questions, I spoke to a lady who redirected me to the delivery services they use. I ordered via Grubhub, and upon arrival, the worker told me they never received the order, that this has happened before, and

2Gingers holds a special place in my heart. This was the first restaurant I dined in when I moved here last year, and even though I live 35min away I've been at least once a month since. The menu is massive, the food is authentic, and the employees are very courteous. The Korma w/ goat, the Laal Mas, and the Vindaloo are my go-to dishes. Word to the wise - they ask how spicy you want your food between a 1-6, and their spice doesn't mess around. I ordered a 6 once and it was a lot, so I usually stick with 5 because I love spicy. My daughter ordered a 2 and it was way too much for her.

Best Indian restaurant in Columbia. If you have never tried indian please go to the lunch buffet. Well worth your money. My favorite is the tikka masala.
Went there for tikka masala chicken and paid $20 for a pint of tikka masala and a small rice with 2 naan's. The price of food to how much I got was not equal. Only go when they have buffets. Lesson learned.

I was craving chicken Marsala for months
Well they did not disappoint. This was the only thing I ate, I put other food on my plate to not seem biased, lol! But I only tried the chicken Marsala and it was delish!!! To my surprised, I checked in on the yelp app and received 10% off on my order. When I need my chicken Marsala craving satisfied....I will be back! Good Jobz

Ended up at 2Gingers because Saffron was closed. But that's okay because I really enjoyed the food at 2Gingers! And I'm not a huge fan of Indian food. We ended up getting the mango lassi, samosas, garlic naan, lamb vindaloo, and goat Rogan Josh. Prices were pretty reasonable with big portions. The garlic naan was pretty bland. The mango lassi was lukewarm. The vindaloo and rogan josh were delicious though. Very flavorful and tender, with a good amount of meat.
